UnmistakablY Insane.

A short time ago the Galveston News
made mention of the arrest in that city of
a man named Deminger, on charge of
lunacy. The News stated that he was
from Austin and tAst he had at one time
been in the asylum. An effort was made
to learn something of the man here, but
no one could be found who knew
such person as Deminger. Yesterday,
however, Mr.. 0. A. Vance, of Galveston,
arrived in charge of Mr.. Joseph A. Dell
mare, and il was learned that he was the
man whom the News had designated as
Demiuger. The unfortunate man was
conveyed to his home, SOB West Ninth
street, but last night he became violent
and unmanageable to such degree that
it was found necessary TO place
him under restraint, and he
was accordingly taken to the station
house and locked up for the night. He
was in the asylum for some time last
year, but was discharged last fall Is
cured. He will probably be returned to
the asylum to-day. His malady takes the
form of wild and gross imagining, and at
times he becomes so violent that he is
regarded as dangerous.

can and does exist under so wild an ex-

An incident which occurred near here
aptly illustrates the courage and quick
perception of the cowboy when in danger:
A rounding-up outiit had with them a
small tent, which was stretched and all
crowded into it for protection against
storm coming up. During the night
a rattlesnake made its presence
known among the sleeping cowboys,
Immediately there was rush, each one
making an exit for himself with his knife
through the sides of the tent. In the ex-
citement one of the boys discovered that
he had stepped on the snake. He quickly
concluded that because it had not struck
him, and that so much of it's body was
squirming around his legs, that he must
be standing on it, near its head-and
there he stood, in the darkness, with the
incessant hum of its rattle sounding in
his ears, until his companions returned,
and, tearing the debris of the tent from
around him, dispatched the snake.
leave it to my readers to determine If
one who would thus risk his own life to
save that of his companions can be the
william the cowboy is so often portrayed.
